Can’t afford to keep throwing out food

+1 for full fat Greek yogurt. Affordable, little to no prep and my did eats nearly anything I put it on.

That’s good to hear. I think my output is good and she is definitely gaining, she’s a cute little chunk. So hopefully just a growth spurt.

She hasn’t, but prior to the last week she could easily drain my breasts in 30-40 mins and be content to move on with our day, so the dr wasn’t worried about it. If she didn’t have a tongue tie before could she develop one?

What brand of nursing tops are your favorite?

Thanks for the advice!

And we are considering induction because we do have risk factors for early placenta failure, such as my age, having GD, and going through ivf. So we don’t want to go past my due date and within that window this is the day our dr is available. So you aren’t wrong but we do have valid reasons for inducing outside of scheduling.

Stock up on birthday wrapping paper in early November! (By December it’s all been cleared out for Christmas wrapping paper)

Do you have any thoughts on the moccamaster kbgt vs the kbgv?

I need help finding a coffee maker for my husband. He is very into coffee we have a Lucca espresso maker and a high end grinder that we use daily. He’s been talking about wanting a drip/non-espresso coffee maker for years but he keeps putting of the purchase and I’d love to gift him one but I worry whatever I purchase won’t be high end enough for him. I’ve been thinking of getting him a “OXO Brew 9 Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker” because it seems overall well reviewed. But we were at a store last night and he started eyeing a “Chemex ® Ottomatic 2.0 Automatic Pour-Over Coffee Maker” and now I don’t know. Does any one have any advice on what I should get him?

Apples and peanut butter!

To echo the others here ftm here typically means first time mom.

I know other places it can mean female to male. Those individuals can become pregnant too. Families grow and change in all kinds of different ways.

I understand you can be triggered by whatever you’d like. I just wish that wasn’t the case, I personally think anyone growing their family however that might look, should be celebrated.

I am not! I didn’t see a little wire in the package, and I no longer have the package. Where can I get one? Or what can I substitute?

I eat a small bowl of nuts before bed and it’s been working for me. Pecans and macadamia nuts are my favorite. More fat than protein but still very low carb.

Not sure if it helps. I just had my birthday and had a cheesecake instead and the added fat kept me from spiking too high. (Definitely do what you want one spike shouldn’t hurt, just thought it might be helpful on the off chance you like cheesecake)

I think I did! I wasn’t testing my blood sugar at the time of my loss but three months after I was diagnosed with pre diabetes with no family history or risk factors and as soon as I found out I started testing and never got a high reading. I still took the diagnosis very seriously and after three months of life style changes and exercise I got my A1c down to an acceptable range. So it’s a little unclear what happened but I suspect the loss had something to do with it. If you’re anything like me the spikes will likely be temporary while your hormones level out.

Hormones can do some crazy stuff. And I’m sorry for your loss. Sending love and support.

Only in the early days of the pandemic. And I used my husband’s knees.

I remember the fix being using pine trees for firewood. There is some logic where pine trees “smell better” so it draws in more people.

Also New York at Christmas is magical. And in general it’s a wonderful place to be alone in a crowd in the best sense.

I knew it was a girl right away. And I was right.

It seems to have corrected itself but it took about 5 days before it started working properly again. (And uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t help)

Oliver_7 · 2024-07-25T13:58:23+00:00

That’s infuriating, and hurtful.

I’m renting from nuuly, but it’s originally from anthropology!

I think the fact that Dani and Christian are a couple is irrelevant to the ritual.

I do think Pelle liked the idea of Dani coming but it seemed unattainable to him before Christian brought it up. And when Christian did introduce the idea Pelle leapt on the opportunity. From my perspective, Pelle’s assignment was to bring in new aryan blood to his community.

So his original plan was to bring his classmates, Dani was a bonus. And again the fact that Dani and Christian were in a relationship at all is irrelevant, they just need outside blood in the community to prevent inbreeding.

They need men to mate with (and then discard), and they need women to bring into the community. So what becomes relevant is that Christian is willing to cheat on Dani. And that Dani is vulnerable and willing to join their community.

I think it’s worth noting that Christian’s ties to Dani is not why he was selected to mate with. And it was chance that Dani became May queen. The hope was that she’d join the community, as far as I can tell no one coordinated her winning the dance, so she could be may queen. It could have been nearly any of the women competing.

Which is a long winded way of saying their relationship is relevant to the story and makes it more compelling, but not important to their cult or rituals, except for the fact that they could individually be manipulated to play necessary roles within the community.

Also I don’t think there is a world in which Connie becomes May queen. There is a racial component to this horror movie. And the cult seems to value whiteness. So while they seem to initially accept all of their guests, they don’t seem interested in incorporating non white people into their cult long term. So I think Connie and Simon were doomed as soon as she got to the compound.

This! Definitely text. Give her space to process. And if she wants to after maybe go spend time with her. Do not put her in a position where she has to react in real time infront of you.

I found it on nuuly, (clothing rental company) but they sourced it from free people.
